Overclocking my 3960x: How did you do?

Frank Jeagar · 13 Dec 2015 at 21:57

Finished my watercooling loop and so I'm going to start overclocking first my CPU and then my GPUs.

I thought I would ask was clocks people have gotten at voltage and maximum temp overclocking the 3960x?

I haven't really done anything yet, all I have done is ramp it up to 4GHz without touching the voltage and I haven't really seen a temp increase. Got a feeling I'm going to enjoy this CPU

Stick under around 1.4v through it and see how far it will go. Should make it a fair bit warm, but also a bit faster

Yeah, I'd never push past 1.4v on my regular PC.

I should be okay for cooling, I have 600mm of radiator going on right now
